[Verse 1]
I feel the shadows now upon me
And bright angels beckon me
Before I go dear Christian brothers
Won't you come and sing for me
[Chorus]
Sing those hymns we sang together
That plain little church with the benches all worn
How dear to my heart how precious the moment
We stood shaking hands and singing our song
[Verse 2]
My burden is heavy my way has grown weary
I have traveled a road that is long
And it would easy this poor heart dear brother
If you come and sing one song
[Chorus]
Sing those hymns we sang together
That plain little church with the benches all worn
How dear to my heart how precious the moment
We stood shaking hands and singing our song
[Verse 3]
In my home beyond the dark river
Your dear faces no more I will see
Until we meet where there's no more sad parting
Won't you come and sing for me
[Chorus]
Sing those hymns we sang together
That plain little church with the benches all worn
How dear to my heart how precious the moment
We stood shaking hands and singing our song
We stood shaking hands and singing our song
